cooling tower

Inspiration came from the "Zalman Reserator 1" CPU and system cooling tower. I am not very good in heat transfer calculations and don't have an appropriate simulation software like Comsol (at least I didn't found one yet). Cooling effects are only estimated. It is primary based on the chimney effect in the middle of the tube and by spreading the heat in a star self similar fashion. I would like to test if there would be any effect by ultrasonic dispensed water drops in the middle tube. the tube is designed with two layers to guarantee a closed primary cooling fluid circuit. Cooling fluid should be water. Maybe cooper based casing or aluminum.
